Arsenal defenders Gabriel Magalhaes and William Saliba were promised a big test in the North London Derby but came through it as Mikel Arteta's team got the better of their 10-man opponents.
Before the game, former Arsenal and Tottenham centre-back William Gallas predicted a challenging afternoon for the pair, who were pitted against Harry Kane, Son Heung-min and Richarlison. Spurs got the better of Arsenal in a crunch game at the end of last season, with Rob Holding sent off after struggling to deal with Antonio Conte's attackers, but this time the game went the other way.
There was a nervy moment at the end of the first half when Gabriel brought Richarlison down in the penalty area and Kane converted the resulting spot-kick. However, after being challenged by Gallas to prove they could perform against top opponents, they got the job done.
